Reply To: take train in wheelchair
Hello Jul,
Just to clarify. While you can book tickets without reserving seats, if someone who boards at a later part of the trip does reserve the seats and/or wheelchair space you happen to be sitting in, then you have to move to another space that is open. This could be very problematic for a wheelchair user as the walkways to accessible spaces aren’t typically big enough for a wheelchair to sit in AND allow people to pass by (meaning that you may have nowhere else to sit). So it’s recommended that you reserve your seats (especially if you’re going with multiple wheelchairs) if you want to stick together.
